High School Sewing

I was looking through some old photos today and found some pictures of clothes that I made my senior year in high school. Even then, I liked to make the same pattern over and over again. This was a vogue pattern (I think) and I made the two pictured here, as well as another one that I wore to graduation.

Senior Prom 1986

I loved this dress. I got the fabric from Joann's; it was some sort of patterned, polyester satin or something. (The boyfriend is Scott. He remains my best friend to this day. In fact, he was the one I was visiting in Ashland.) The skirt was tea length and a kind of combination between an A-Line and a circle skirt.

Lithia Park 1987

I'm the girl in the green dress. It's the same as the one above, but with a short, straight skirt and made out of wide-wale green corduroy. I wore it until it fell apart.
